Steam on Box86 Not Running on Armbian 11

[champlainmorin]

I am running a ROCK 5b on Armbian (which has the rk3588 SoC), and I am having some issues with Steam, which I hope is a simple fix. I have put below the errors I am getting after running steam in terminal:

steam.sh[1803]: Running Steam on debian 11 64-bit
steam.sh[1803]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled by the user
setup.sh[1868]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!

I was wondering if it had something to do with the Panfrost driver, so here's the result of glxinfo -B:

I thought all Steam needed to run was OpenGL, which the driver claims is working, and I can run native ARM applications and games just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

you need armhf version libxcb stuffs. try sudo apt install libx11-6:armhf libxcb-dri2-0:armhf libxcb-dri3-0:armhf libxcb-present0:armhf libxcb-xfixes0:armhf to install the missing 32bits libs.

[champlainmorin]

Thanks for the speedy reply! The above fixed the issue with the libraries, but I am still running into the following errors:

I'm not quite sure what is causing this, and I also rebuilt box86 and box64 after doing the above fix, though I wasn't sure if it was necessary.

more missing libs on armhf. libgl and libx11-xcb at least.

[champlainmorin]

Thanks so much! For anyone else wondering I had to install a few more libraries: libice-dev:armhf, libsm-dev:armhf, libgl-dev:armhf, and libx11-xcb! Marking as closed!

[champlainmorin]

Whoops, sorry, I thought I was done but now I have an error after installing all the libraries (also I have libpng-dev:armhf and libpng-dev installed so I don't understand that error):

Any more advice?

[ptitSeb]

the libpng12 error is not a problem, it should pick an emulated one.

Your issue is something else: missing rockchip firmware or something like that. I suspect you opengl is not working for armhf.

It's not a box86 issue, but a configuration one. multi-lib can be tricky sometimes.

[champlainmorin]

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into it. Does steam need vulkan support to run?

[ptitSeb]

No, opengl is enough. But some games require it...
